Eddie Alvarez is an incredibly dangerous fighter. He is a blood and guts warrior…Eddie’s bigger, he’s as fast, and he’s a better wrestler than Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor is coming off the most important victory of his UFC career. The Nate Diaz fight showed that he can be one of the best 155 pound fighters in the world.

McGregor and Alvarez appear in the extended preview for UFC 205. McGregor:

No-one has had the deuce in the UFC, I’m gonna go and get them two belts and take out two divisions. If anyone can do it it’s me. no-one else can do it.

Alvarez:

This game is not a game about who says more, it’s about who does more…Conor’s full of shit. Most of the things he says are full of shit. He’s never put himself in harm’s way, and I think just now he has.

In a clip from the documentary The Hurt Business: A Deeper Look at MMA, Rousey says more Mixed Martial Arts would mean less violence in the world.

[MMA] really is the most responsible outlet for (aggression). It’s a human instinct to fight. If you try to suppress it entirely, and put everyone in a bubble-wrapped society, that’s when people start going nuts and shooting movie theaters. If any of those people that had all of that aggression built up in them had some sort of outlet, I think that we’d have a lot more societal health because of it…[MMA is] a puzzle to be solved. It’s more mental and tactical than anything else. I think it’s the purest, most beautiful sport in the world.

UFC releases a second trailer for Bad Blood, showing McGregor sparring with southpaws, including Wallace.

I’m certainly preparing a lot more specific. Usually, I don’t prepare specific, because they always pull out, every time. I know Nate will show up. This time I know this fight will go down. This time I know I’ll be facing a tall, lanky southpaw, with the height, the weight, and the reach on me. So I am preparing accordingly…I’m feeling very confident. It’s gonna be a bad night for Nate.

Kavanagh:

For the first fight we didn’t even have one training session with a similar opponent. Now, it’s all we’ve done for the last few months.

McGregor and Diaz appear in a trailer for Bad Blood, which premieres August 14 at 10pm/7pm ET/PT on FS1. Diaz:

They thought he was untouchable. Like he was Superman.

McGregor:

We were certain to fight each other for a long time. And then it came about. It came about quickly..I was dominating the fight, and then, like that, I lost. How can I slap a guy’s face all around the Octagon for eight minutes, and then lose that way?

Hughes and Homme (who was not at the attack) appear in a trailer for a Vice interview about the Bataclan attack.

Several people hid in our dressing room, and the killers were able to get in and killed every one of them—except for a kid who was hiding under my leather jacket…A great reason why so many were killed is because so many people wouldn’t leave their friends. So many people put themselves in front of people

Riley directsListen to Me Marlon, a documentary that features musings taken from more than 300 hours of Brando’s self-recorded audio tapes that the actor had made as preparation for his official biography. The documentary begins in Brando’s childhood, revisiting the actor’s tough relationship with his alcoholic mother and abusive father. It includes his thoughts on films such as Apocalypse Now (he calls early drafts of the script “stupid” and “awful) and Last Tango in Paris (“I realized, you know, you’re naked”), as well as thoughts on his family tragedies.

My pitch (to make the film) was Brando on Brando. I thought it would be amazing to tell it entirely in his own voice, especially because he was so private. It was a Freudian study. He was in psychotherapy most of his life. His life was characterized by his youth. He didn’t want to be like his father but it was inescapable.

The trailer for Batman vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice is released to a standing ovation during the film’s Comic-Con panel. The trailer shows Cavill as Superman and Affleck as Batman. Adams is Lois Lane, Eisenberg is Lex Luthor and Gadot plays Wonderwoman. The film is directed by Snyder.

Waters releases a full trailer for Roger Waters The Wall. The film combines an immersive concert experience, a road movie of Waters’ reckoning with the death of his father in Italy in 1944, and commentary highlighting the human cost of armed conflict.

I hope these worldwide screenings will be a good opportunity to remember, not just our fallen loved ones, but all the other guys’ fallen loved ones. Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend, we were all equal in the end.

The first trailer for Sherlock’s special is released at Comic-con. The trailer shows Cumberbatch and Freeman in the Victorian era arriving at 221b Baker street. Mrs Hudson (Stubbs) complains that she is never written about in Watson’s stories.
